  2. #HotTake on #VideoGames: I agree that we should stop calling #AdventureGames that lean heavily into their ability-gaining elements #Metroidvania games. The name implies similarities to #Metroid and #Castlevania that might not be there, and also that they invented elements which were also in the original #Zelda, #Adventure, and many other 80s adventure games.

    Generally speaking, gaining abilities to access new areas is one of those true-to-life elements. It'd be like calling every arcade racing game an "F-Zero clone" or every First Person Shooter a "Doom Clone" when even Wolfenstein was far from the original FPS.

  11. Going back to Mount Fay to face against this boss from Act 3!

    I also unlocked the progress percentage and I'm at 80% so far!

  12. Everything should be ready for me to finally go for Act 3 on , including a new weapon upgrade and some finished courier deliveries!

  13. After finally getting around to finishing Metroid Prime Remastered, I gathered the courage to finish my first run of Metroid Dread.

    Man what a game. Definitely one of my favourite metroidvanias.

    It’s been way overdue, as I pre-ordered Dread, started playing day one and dropped it when I got stuck at the last boss. I then (foolishly) decided to turn it into a 100% run and dropped that too eventually.

  14. Ubisoft is letting owners of its Xbox games play select titles for free on PC as part of a new partnership with Microsoft

  15. Today I finally beat Metroid Prime Remastered for the first time.

    It took me over 36h, which is largely because I took a long break (twice) in between and didn't take notes until quite late in the game.

    The other mistake I made was that I noticed I was already at 88% items on my own and decided to go for 100% to see the best ending. Without prior noted this was a grind an the ending did not make up for it.

    Good game otherwise.

  16. Videojuegos «Animal Well»

    • Título original: Animal Well [1]
    • Título en español: Animal Well (mantiene su nombre original en la distribución en español) [2, 3]
    • Calificación edad (Escala Oscar): PEGI +7: No recomendada para menores de 7 años [4]
    • Programador/as: Billy Basso [1]
    • Compañía: Shared Memory LLC (Desarrolladora) / Bigmode (Editora) [1, 2]
    • País: Estados Unidos
    • Género: Metroidvania, Plataformas, Puzzles [3, 5]
    • Calificación calidad: 9: Excelente (Cuenta con una aclamación universal de la crítica, promediando una puntuación de 91 en Metacritic y un 9/10 en OpenCritic) [6, 7]
    • Descripción del juego:

    Se trata de controlar a una misteriosa y diminuta criatura que tiene forma de burbuja o gota que sale de una flor. El objeto es entrar y explorar un laberinto enorme subterráneo, surrealista e interconectado con más de 250 salas. En comparación a otros juegos de su género, Animal Well no incluye el combate tradicional y desafía al jugador a usar el ingenio y las físicas del entorno para contactar con los animales, esquivar peligrosos y activar los mecanismos. En un hermoso pero opresivo apartado visual hecho de pixeles y un denso diseño de audio, este juego oculta múltiples capas de acertijos y secretos diseñados para su resolución de manera no lineal y a la manera y ritmo del jugador.

  17. I actually thought that was the end for some reason, but of course there was the actual Metroid Prime boss fight!

    This one killed me twice but I found it easier than the other,

    Alas. is COMPLETE!

    #88% Completion

    18 hours of playtime (I got a bit lost sometimes lol)

  18. Give me a #MetroidPrime5 that delves into the following:

    The GF Squad was always working for #Sylux.

    Now you know why the missed shots, why these four "held" Sylux in the climax to let Samus escape. There is a reason, and Metroid Prime 5 could tell it.

  19. I always recommend to play Metroid: Zero Mission and Metroid Prime to start on the #Metroid franchise.

    If you like Zero mission: Super Metroid (redux), then Metroid: Samus Returns, Metroid Fusion and Metroid Dread.

    If you like Prime: Prime 2 Echoes, Prime 3 Corruption.

    The rest of Metroid games only amount to a YouTube summary and a post on BlueSky.

  20. New #LetsPlay! #TalesofKenzera is a #metroidvania made by Surgent Studios and EA - Electronic Arts. It's heavily rooted in #Bantu #legends and other #African #culture. This caught my eye a while back and I got it the same time as #Kuntewiktuk. I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I'm enjoying playing it!

    In our first episode, a young #shaman grieving the loss of his #father appeals to the #god of #death for aid in bringing him back.

  22. I'll always favor the last version rather than the first in #MetroidPrime.

    The first looks like somebody good the thing right, but is too oversized.

    The one in Metroid Prime looks like someone is on the suit, like someone made the ultimate cosplay.

  23. #MetroidPrime is not "dead".

    medium.com/p/9c7a3755769f/

    Their newer sales numbers are not to brag about, given how much #Nintendo invested on the game alone across two studios.

    ign.com/articles/nintendo-sile

    I believe the next #MetroidPrime5 will not have a huge investment in development. Who knows if they pivot to Unreal Engine 5 to keep costs down instead of their own engine + training.

  25. So I played #MetroidPrime4 past weekend.

    It bored me after the lazo upgrade. I just went to check a let's play, saw the ending on YouTube, and move on.

    I believe I'm ready to shit on #Highguard once it releases, not before playing #Dispatch now that it's complete.
